Coway announced on the 6th that it has conducted a disability awareness campaign for adolescents.
Coway’s choir for visually impaired individuals, the “Mulbit Choir,” carried out a campaign featuring a choral performance at Eunpyeong Middle School in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, on the 30th.
A Coway official stated, “We hope that through this performance, adolescents will break down prejudices regarding disability and cultivate a warm heart that respects differences,” adding, “Going forward, we will take the lead in improving disability awareness and creating social value within local communities through diverse cultural and artistic activities.”
Approximately 500 current students from Eunpyeong Middle School attended the event. The Mulbit Choir performed a choral program composed of popular songs familiar to students, such as Kim Gwang-seok’s “Where the Wind Blows” and Yoon Jong-shin’s “Uphill Road,” as well as psalms.
During the performance, a disability awareness education session for adolescents was conducted, hosted directly by choir member Kim Su-hyun. Through a lecture titled “Understanding Visual Impairment Correctly,” students listened to the diverse characteristics of visually impaired individuals and their sincere experiences regarding daily life, spending time viewing disability without prejudice and empathizing with one another.
Meanwhile, the “Coway Mulbit Choir,” established in 2022, is a mixed choir composed of members with severe visual impairments. It contributes to expanding the scope of cultural and artistic activities for people with disabilities through various competitions and performances. Last year, it was awarded the Grand Prize (Presidential Award) at the “33rd National Disability Choir Competition Commemorating World Disability Day,” recognizing its achievements in the development of disability culture and arts. In addition, the choir actively communicates with citizens through regular concerts and various local community events.
